CARDIFF CITY boss Malky Mackay looks set to have a virtually full squad of players to choose from ahead of his side's big Championship play-off clash with West Ham on Thursday.

After the Bluebirds' win at Crystal Palace on Saturday, which confirmed their place in the top six, up to four Cardiff players have not trained with what are described as 'bumps and bruises,' but they are expected to be fit to face Sam Allardyce's Hammers in the Welsh capital.

The only definite absentee is wideman Craig Conway who is out for up to three months following surgery on an ankle ligament injury.

The Bluebirds are only carrying out light physical work this week ahead of the two-legged semi-final which could see them force their way to a Wembley showdown against either Birmingham or Blackpool.

Tomorrow Mackay will hold his training session at the Cardiff City Stadium with the pitches at the club's Vale of Glamorgan base suffering due to the current heavy rain.
